3、 Detailed explanation of core functions
3.1. Dual channel cascade and redundancy design
CXLE87193 has DIN and FDIN dual input interfaces and supportsAutomatic switching and data shaping forwardingWhen a chip is damaged, the backup port can ensure that subsequent chips continue to receive data, avoiding the failure of the entire link due to a single point of failure.
3.2. High precision PWM dimming and gamma correction
Each RGB channel supports 8-bit PWM dimming (256 levels), combined with built-in gamma correction function, which can achieve smoother brightness changes and more realistic color reproduction, especially suitable for high demand visual display scenes.
3.3. Automatic clock synchronization and data regeneration
The chip is equipped with an oscillation circuit that can automatically synchronize the clock based on data line signals. The data will not attenuate during the cascading process, supporting long-distance and multi node transmission, suitable for large LED display screens and light strip systems.
4、 Electrical characteristics and reliability
4.1. Limit parameter parameters
Under any conditions, the chip operates beyond these limit parameters;
(2) All voltage values are tested relative to the system ground.




The high-level time must comply with the corresponding numerical range in the table above;
(2) When no reset is required, the low-level time between bytes should not exceed 25 seconds, otherwise the chip may reset and then receive data again, making it impossible to achieve data
Correctly transmitted.

| parameter | condition | typical value |
|---|---|---|
| quiescent current | VDD=4.0V | 1.5mA |
| OUT output current | Vout=3.0V | 12mA |
| Inter channel error | Vout=3.0V | ± 3% |
| ESD protection (HBM) | Human body mode | 4000V |
| Operating Temperature | -40℃ ~ +85℃ | -- |
After the chip is powered on and reset, it begins to receive display data. After receiving 24 bits, the DO port starts forwarding data that continues to be sent from the DIN or FDIN end,
Provide display data for the next cascaded chip. Before forwarding data, the DO port remains at a low level. If the DIN or FDIN input resets
Reset signal, the OUT port of the chip will output a PWM waveform with corresponding duty cycle based on the received 24 bit display data, and the chip will wait for connection again
Receive new data, and after receiving the initial 24 bit data, forward the data through the DO port. Before the chip receives the Reset signal, R、
G. The original output of B remains unchanged.
The chip adopts automatic shaping and forwarding technology, and the signal will not be distorted or attenuated. For all cascaded chips, the data transmission cycle is
coincident.
4.5.2 One complete frame of data structure;

D1、D2、D3、D4、… … 、 Dn is the PWM setting command for each chip.
Reset indicates a reset signal, low level is valid.
4.5.3 Dn's data format;

Each PWM setting command contains 8× 3 bits of data, high bits are sent first.
R [7:0]: Used to set the PWM duty cycle of R output. All 0 codes indicate shutdown, all 1 code indicates maximum duty cycle, adjustable in 256 levels.
G [7:0]: Used to set the PWM duty cycle of G output. All 0 codes indicate shutdown, all 1 code indicates maximum duty cycle, adjustable in 256 levels.
B [7:0]: Used to set the PWM duty cycle of B output. All 0 codes indicate shutdown, all 1 code indicates maximum duty cycle, adjustable in 256 levels. 4.5.4 Data reception and forwarding;

Among them, S1 is the data sent by the Di port of the controller, and S2, S3, S4, and Sn are the data forwarded by the cascaded CXLE87193.
Controller Di and Fi2 port data structure: D1D2D3D4… … Dn;
Controller Fi Port Data Structure: DxD1D2D3… … Dn;
Among them, Dx is any 24 bit data bit.

The process of chip cascading and data transmission and forwarding is as follows: the controller sends data S1, chip 1 absorbs D1, and if there is no reset at this time
Signal, chip 1 will continue to forward the data sent by the controller; Chip 2 absorbs D2. If there is no Reset signal at this time, chip 2
We will continue to forward the data sent by chip 1. Repeat this process until the controller sends a Reset signal, completing a data refresh cycle,
The chip has returned to the receiving preparation state. Reset low level is effective. If the low level is maintained for more than 80 seconds, the chip will be reset.
5、 Typical Application Circuit
5.1 Double line cascade wiring diagram
Controller→ DIN → Chip 1→ DO → DIN → Chip 2→ . .. → Chip nFDIN (backup input)

To prevent the instantaneous high voltage generated by live plugging and unplugging of the product during testing from causing damage to the input and output pins of the chip signal, it is necessary to address the issues of signal input and output;
Output pin connected in series with 100Ω Protect the resistor. In addition, the 104 decoupling capacitors of each chip in the figure are indispensable, and they are routed to the VDD and GND of the chip;
Feet should be as short as possible to achieve the best decoupling effect and stabilize chip operation.
5.2. Design suggestions:
• Connect 100Ω in series with DIN, FDIN, and DO ports; Resistance, protection against plug-in impact;
• Connect 104 capacitors in parallel between each VDD and GND, and the decoupling line should be as short as possible;
• Using SOP8 packaging, the layout is compact and suitable for high-density PCB design.
5.3. Input-output equivalent circuit

5.4. Internal structure diagram;

6、 Data refresh rate calculation
CXLE87193 requires 24 bit data transmission per pixel (RGB). At a communication rate of 800KHz, the period per bit is 1.25 ms, and the transmission time for one pixel is approximately 30 ms. The relationship between system cascaded pixels and refresh rate is as follows:
|
Pixel count |
Refresh time (ms) |
Refresh rate (Hz) |
|---|---|---|
|
1~500 |
fifteen |
sixty-six point seven |
|
1~1000 |
thirty |
thirty-three point three |
|
1~2000 |
sixty |
sixteen point seven |
Users can flexibly adjust the number of cascades and communication speed according to actual project requirements.
The data refresh time is calculated based on how many pixels are cascaded in a system, with a set of RGB typically consisting of one pixel (or segment),
A CXLE87193 chip can control a set of RGB.
Calculated according to normal mode:;
The 1-bit data period is 1.25 μ s (frequency 800KHz), and one pixel data includes R (8-bit), G (8-bit), and B (8-bit)
24bit, The transmission time is 1.25μ s× 24≈ 30μs。 If there are a total of 1000 pixels in a system, when refreshing all displays at once
Between 30μ s× 1000=30ms, The one second refresh rate is: 1÷ 30ms=33.3Hz。
The following is the table of the highest data refresh rate corresponding to cascading points:;

7、 Constant current performance display
CXLE87193 can maintain stable output current even when the load voltage changes, with a smooth constant current curve and minimal inter channel differences. As shown in the figure below, when the OUT port voltage varies within the range of 0.5V~5V, the output current is basically maintained at 12mA, ensuring consistent LED brightness and color uniformity.

9、 Conclusion
CXLE87193, as a highly integrated and reliable three channel LED constant current driver chip, performs excellently in current consistency, color control, system redundancy, and is particularly suitable for LED display and lighting systems that require high refresh rates and stability.
